Do you just want a round like that? Racing games how Gran Turismo Sport play, a normal controller is certainly sufficient for you. But if you want to get a little deeper into virtual motorsport and play ambitiously and authentically, you cannot avoid a gaming steering wheel.

However, you have to spend a lot more money here than for a controller for 50 dollars. Mostly there are costs of at least 100 to 150 dollars, but many products are significantly more expensive. When it comes to the total price, the size of the steering wheel must always be taken into account. Are there, for example, a pedal unit and wheel base, or do these elements have to be bought separately?

You see: When buying a gaming steering wheel at an expensive price, you should consider several questions in advance, for example: What is my total budget? Do I want to mount the steering wheel on the table or buy a steering wheel holder? Is my table too thick or too deep to be attached? Does the steering wheel have to provide force feedback? On which platforms do I want to use the steering wheel? In addition to the steering, is the workmanship important to me?

Force feedback (feedback effect) is also tried out, provided the steering wheel offers it. A good steering wheel should, however, come up with force feedback, it is a good form in this accessory segment and is a real added value in terms of immersion in a racing game. If force feedback is not given, this has a negative effect on the final rating. The rating can also be more negative if an expensive steering wheel barely offers scope. Complete packages with steering wheel and pedal unit, for example, are welcome.
